SELFRIDGE ARRESTED BY A LIVERYMAN. Warrant Procured on the Advice of | the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani- mals. OAKLAND, March Dr. Clarence Selfridge is charged with driving a valu- able horse in a cruel manner and render- ing the animal u and on Thursday tried before Justice morning he will be Larue in East Oakland. Three weeks ago Dr. Selfridge hired a rig. from the Simonson stables in East Oakland. He went away on Tuesday and | returned on Thurs v. The animal was | in such a bad condition that it was placed | in charge of a veterinary surgeon. Where Dr. Selfridge went and what he did with | the horse will be told Thursday morning and much interest is being shown in the trial on account of the prominence of the young doctor. The proprietor of the Stable says the animal was an excellent one and that a few prior to hiring | the rig to Dr. Seifridge he refused $150 for it. “When the animal came back,” sald he, “'she was foundered. I never saw such e wreck in my life, and although I think now that she will recover she will be good for nothing but the veriest old peddier's cart. I called Dr. Selfridge’s attention to what he had done, but not until a day or two -1z jid it develop how thoroughly the animal was used up. I don’'t know whether he drove her the-whole of the two days_he w but she was a very speedy anim very willing, and there is no exct making a_wreck of her. I sent to Dr. Selfridge and asked him to reimburse me, but he snapped his fingers and told me to do as I pleased.” The case was reported to the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to animals and on the advice of its agent a warrant was sworn out in Justice Larue's court. —————— CLOSED WITH A CLASH. Oakland City Council Winds Up With a Row. OAKLAND, March 27.—The old City Council held its last meeting to-night, and next Monday night there will be seven new members among the eleven. With the exception of approving the minutes of the last meeting and passing a bill of the Poundkeeper, nothing was done, The Poundman’s bill produced positively the last vestige of the regime of the solid six. The bill ‘was read as recommended by the Finance Committee, and after its paseage it appeared that only two of the five members had been present, which is not a quorum. In the hall after adjourn- ment Girard accused Woodward of at- tempting to “sneak” the bill through, Colonel Woodward objected to the use of the word ** but Girard was obdu- rate.

Preliminary Hearing of John Epper- son’s Alleged Slayer Has Been Commenced. OAKLAND, March 27.—The preliminary examination of James J. Gilligan, charged with the murder of John Epperson at the notorious Office saloon at the Emeryville racetrack, last Tuesday, was commenced before Jystice of the Peace Bradbury this afternoon. The complaint sworn to by W. J. Dreyer, proprietor of the saloon where the alleged crime was committed, had been dismissed and Deputy Marshal Lane of Emeryville swore to a new complaint. The preponderance of testimony adduced at the hearing to-day was most decidedly favorable to the defendant, and grave doubts are expressed as to the advisability of holdin% Gilligan to appear before the ourt.

IS ENDING IN A MADHOUSE Ex-Consul Churchill Is Insane. HISTORY RAPIDLY MADE STARTED HIS CAREER IN OAK- LAND. | Alleged Proof of Bigamy Was the | Beginning of the End of His Checkered Career. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, %08 Broadway, March 27. Willlam Churchill, newspaper man, ex- Consul and Bohemian, is in an Eastern asylum. Six months ago he disappeared from his home in Brooklyn and his wife professed to know nothing whatever of his whereabouts. It was supposed that he had committed suicide and his many | Oakland acquaintances believed this to be the case. News was received to-day that the once bright Englishman is a lunatic. Churchill's checkered career commenced in Oakland. Many years ago he drifted | into this city from Australia and his hard-up condition appealed to the sym- pathy of many of Oakland’s newspaper men. They put him on his feet and stood him until he was independent of as- sistance, Then he showed up in his true colors. He betrayed the confidence of one of his best friends, broke up his home and finally eloped with his friend’s wife. After doing newspaper work in Brook- n, N. Y., for some years Churchill per- aded President Cleveland to appoint him Consul to Apia. Soon after golng to the islands a woman appeared in San named Mrs, Holmes. She ing, married her by contract many years ago and lived with her for some’ time across the bay. Her proofs were appar- ently complete_and she lald them all be- fore Senator Perkins to place before President McKinley. Whatever effect they had it is not kmown positively, but some time later and long before his term had elapsed Churchill was recalled. He went back to newspaper work and was enjoying life in the East when he sudden- ly disappeared. Nothing has been heard | of him since until to-day, when word was | received of his being confined in a mad- house. MAY PAY ALIMONY AND , HIS WIFE IS DEAD QUEER COMPLICATIONS OVER | MRS SHEPARD'S ESTATE. Daughters Protest Against Their| Father's Account as Adminis- | trator of the Deceased Mother’s Property. OAKLAND, March 27.—John E. Shep- ard will probably find himself in the strange but legally necessary position of being compelled to pay alimony, though his wife has been dead these past two years. In Judge Hall's court to-day Shepard presented his account as administrator of the estate of Catherine Shepard, who was granted a divorce from him in 18580. His two daughters, Violet M., aged 18 years and Kitty B, aged 16, represented by At- torney Carey Howard, vigorously pro- tested against the account becau he had | put in a claim for 380 as admini or. The daughters showed that the father | had been ordered in 1880 to pay his di-| vorced wife $30 monthly alimony, and that | he had pald but one installment of $30 | since then, leaving their mother to pro- Vide whoily for the family until her | death, and he had never paid any back alimony into the coffers of the estate. ‘About eighteen months ago Shepard ap- | plied for letters of administration, as did | also Mrs, Lydia Prescott; but he induced his daughters to sign his petition on the condition that he would save the estate from all expenses of administration, and was granted letters. Now, in his account he has made charges for money he claims he advanced to the daughters, when in reality the latter proved that he had sold | their furniture and given them the money | realized. As the hearing in the matter progressed conditions became more and Mmore complicated, and Judge Hall de- clded that further testimony must be sub- mitted next Monda — tee—— MRS. PICKETT VICTORIOUS. She Is Finally Granted Letters on the Estate of Her Sister, Mrs Mary Hawley. OAKLAND, March 2. —Nettle F. Pickett was granted letters of adminis. tration this afternoon by Judge Hall on the estate of her sister, Mary F. Hawle deceased, and the petition of William G. Hawkett and others for letters was de. nied. Mrs. Hawley was supposed to have committed suicide about a year ago. She Wwas found dead in bed beside her hus. band, who declared she had shot herself. William E. Hawley, the husband, some time ago was denied the probate of an alleged will of his wife’s, which was ghown to have been witnessed and a tested -two weeks after Mrs. Hawley's death, That will was accordingly de- clared bogus. By its terms real estate Valued at $20,000 was bequeathed to the husband, but a victorious contest ended with the result named, and for the past two months Hawley's’ whereabouts has been unknown even to Mr. Hawkett, who represented him. o estate, comptising valuable real es tate in. Napa and Alameda counties, will now be finally administered upon, and it is not unlikely that the widower will be overlooked In the distribution. e —e—— ORATORIO OF STABAT MATER. Cleverly Rendered by Amateur Tal- ent in St. Joseph’s Church. ALAMEDA, March 2.—There was a very enjoyable Tendition of Rossini’s Sta- bat Mater given at St. Joseph's Church in this city on Sunday evening. The great oratorio was In preparation but four Wweeks and great credit is due Mrs. Wil- bourn for the excellent results achieved She was to_have sung “Quis Est Homo with Miss Marks, but suddenly lost her voice on Saturday and Mrs. Van Pelt took her place on this very short notice. Herbert Willlams, who has an unusu- ally pure:tenor voice, appeared to advan- tage fn “Cujus Animan.”" “Pro Peccaris,” the gem of the evening, a bass solo, fell to Ed Eckart and “Fac ut Portem” 'was cleverly rendered by Miss Clara McDe: mott of San Francisco. THe choruses were mostly composed of local talent and had been admirably trained by Mrs. Mar- guerite Wilbourn, the organist and di- rector of St. Joseph's choir. —_————— Concert in Alameda.

MAKES FUN OF PETITION WOMEN AND MINISTERS ARE CALLED IGNORANT. His Talk Construed as a Reply to the Mass Meeting at the- Ebell Some Weeks Ago. Oakland Office San Francisco Call, 908 Broadway, March 27. The ladies of Oakland do not Intend to rest under the slur cast upon thelr integ- rity and intelligence by Elder E. H. Nye, piresmen( of the California Mormon Mis- sion. Last night at a meeting of Oakland Latter-day Saints, Mr. Nye defended Con- gressman-elect Roberts and said that ig- norance is at the bottom of all the pro- tests against the Mormon church. V“Once the ball was started,” said Elder Nye, “it was very little trouble to get women'’s clubs and Presbyterfan ministers to begin passing resolutions and a petition containing hundreds of thousands of wo- men’s names was sent to Congress asking that body not to seat the man with three wives.” Elder Nye seems to regard this action as ridiculous, and follows up this senti- ment by saying: ‘““A sum of money was appropriated by Congress to build a home for the cast-off Mormon wives. A mag- nificent structure was built and it stands to-day a splendid monument to the national folly. Not one polygamous wo- man_has ever crossed its threshold. Elder Nye placed Mormonism and polyg- amy in a new light. He sald: *“Yellow Journalism and our left-handed friends have given you one view of the Mormon uestion. I will give you the facts. B. H. oberts was first nominated for Congress three years ago. He was chosen by ac- clamation by a convention led bv non- Mormons. Moses Thatcher was named at the same time as a choice for Senator. Short! afterward both Roberts and Thatcher were rebuked by the church for having accepted the nominations, it being upposed that their duties as apostles re- red all their time. At once a clamor aised and the Mormon church was charged with having re-entered polit The convention was reconvened and ev: non-Mormon orator exhausted himself in denunciation of the church for having tried to govern the State. Not one single word was_spoken apout polygamy. The Democrats lost tne electio: “Last vear Roberts was nominated again and by the same non-Mormon lead- ers, who saw in hirh the strongest man. The silver question had changed the State from Republicanism and the Republicans saw that he was likely to win. It was their time to attack the church, which they had so encouraged two vears before, when it was rebuking candidate Robert At once there went forth the howl, ‘P lygamy.’ ” A few weeks ago the most prominent ladies of OQakland held a m meeting and uttered some strong lan ge in de- fense of the home and in condemnation of the principles advocated by Elder Nye. His remarks last night are construed as a reply to the ladies, who will soon hold another meeting to resent the insinuations of Mr. Ny ALAMEDA COUNTY NEWS BREVITIES OAKTLAND, March 27.—At the last se: sion of Admiral Dewey Camp No. 19, Army and Navy Republican League, the name of William Bowley was dropped from the roll for conduct unbecoming a soldier and Republican, in denouncing by affidayits under oath M. K. Miller, late candidate for City Engineer. Congressman Victor H. Metcalf to-day filed his second annual account as special administrator on the estate of Mary M.

Si- who died in Alameda on the 18th was filed for’probate to-day by Fitch of San Francisco, who, with E. B. Mastick, is named as executor, and the latter also as trustee for certain devisees. The estate consists of Alameda property valued not to exceed $5000. Joseph Rose of Washington Township was to-day appointed executor of the es- tate of his mother, Maria Laureanna da Rosa. The estate, eomprising a valuable ranch in San Mateo County, is bequeathed to the sons, Joseph and Manuel, each an undivided half interest. . An amended complaint has been filed in the suit of James A. and Charles L. Pryal against William A., Ellen G., Mollie ‘W. and Elizabeth R. Pryal, wherein it s sought to have Willlam A. Pryal declared to hold the legal title to valuable prop- erty in East Oakland in trust, in equal shares, for the plaintiffs, himseif and de- fendants. The property, it is contended, was deeded by their mother, Mary A. Pryal, to William A. Pryal, under a mis- apprehension, just prior to her death. Articles of incorporation were filed to- day by Bowman & Co., druggists, with a capital stock of $25,000, all of which has been subscribed. The directors are: Wil- liam J. Bowman, Fred B. Taylor, George B. Flint, N. A. Koser of Oakland, and Charles A. Bowman of San Francisco. The purposes of the corporation are, aside from a retail and wholesale phar- maceutical business, to acquire, sell and hypothecate real and personal property, to construct buildings, deal in patent rights, copyrights, brands or licenses for the use of inventions and discoveries.

A Bitter Attack on the Board of Edu- cation Brings Out a Reply That Was to the Point. ALAMEDA, March 21.—Brafnard C. Brown made another bitter attack on the Alameda School Board this evening at a meeting of the Municipal League. His remarks were directed particularly to Schoo! Superintendent Sullivan and Director Lanktree. A sensation was cre- ated when Sullivan, who was in attend- ance, recelved permission to speak and during the course of his address called Brown a liar. It had been rumored around town that Brown was golng to continue the wrought up Alameda, and a tremendous crowd greeted him when he commenced to speak. Briefly he said: “That our Board of Education has long been dominated by Messrs. Lanktree, Tisdale and Sullivan is notorious. Mr. Sullivan, though not a member, Is no doubt a much more dominant factor than is Mr. C. A. Brown, who is a member. “During the last two years the board has been run by the chairmen of the three most important committecs—Lank- tree of the finance, Tisdale of classifica- tion and Brown of buildings and grounds. Lanktree’s appointment gave him the lacing of the insurance on the school Plilaings. This has been placed at full rates, notwithstanding the fact that statements were made that a reduced rate could be obtained. Nor has Lank- tree ever been accused of rebating to the ity any portion of his 15 or 20 per cent o Y hich, s a broker, he is entitled as a commissfon from the’ insuring company. Being an agent for a line of companies, holding _an influential position in the School Department and having the gen- | eral reputation of being in the “pull.’ cer- a1y his income as an insurance broker | has not suffered. Quite naturally he de-| sires re-eélection. | TThat he possesses any qualification of | ind, training or experience which makes mm deslrahlflg as a member of the board no . unprejudiced person will affirm. Stnooth ‘Jo' Lanktree never opens his mouth In a rude or offensive manner. But the influence of his ‘fine Italian hand’ is felt to be a power, and the political ma- chine of this city would lose the master mind which controls it were he to abdi- ¢ate. ‘By removing him from the board fiis power in the department can be de- stroyed, for thus will he be taken from his - vantage ground, from which for twelve years he has been able to ‘do poli- tles' in ‘Alameda. Thus will the ‘push’ be forced to remove its biighting hand from our public schools, which must not be al- lowed to suffer while politicians thrive. Sullivan was white with rage when he arose to reply on behalf of himself and Tanktree and Tisdale. He sald: 4 “You have taken up the brown man's burden and you must carry it. What he says about me is utterly false. When a man delfberately lies about me I consider it my duty to tell him to his face that he is @ falsifier. 1 have been accused of do- ing politics in the school department, and I'Geny the charge, but from to-night until election day Sullivan will do politics and Brown will feel the effects of it.” Crowds are discussing the affair on the streets to-night, and friends of the rincipals are on the alert to keep them rom clashing. CHOSE DEATH BECAUSE HER LOVER LEFT HER MAY PIPENBERG ENDS HER LIFE WITH CARBOLIC ACID. b w0 Swallowed a Small Bottle of the Poi- son to Make Her Exit Per- fectly Sure. OAKLAND, March 27.—Because her as- sociate left her, May Pipenberg, aged 23 vears, swallowed an ounce and a half of carbolic acid_to-night at the home of Andy Avers, 710 Webster street, and died an hour later at the Receiving Hospital. The woman has passed under the name of Mary Donell for some time, and it s supposed that Frank Donell is the man she had referred to when she told Mrs. Ayers to-day that she was disgusted with iife on_account of his leaving her. The fatal dose was taken at about 6:3) o'clock. The deceased had just finished cleaning the dishes and remarked {o Mrs. ‘Ayers and a visitor, Josanna Gobil, that che would retire to the bedroom and rest for a while. She had been out of their presence but a few moments when she fell heavily to the floor, where John C. Perry, a_lodger, found 'her writhing In ain, ‘with a small bottle that had con- tained the deadly poison by her side. The woman was taken to the Receiving Hospital, but the efforts of Dr. Sanborn and Steward Borchard proved futile, and before an hour had elapsed her form lay on a slab in the morgue. An inquest will be held to-morrow night. Deceased was formerly the wife of Charles Pipenberg, who is serving a sen- tence in San Quentin for grand iarceny. — o CORONER’S VERDICTS. Suicide of a D;;rym:;; and an Acci- dental Death. OAKLAND, March 27.—At the fnquest to-night of Swan Brown, the San Leandro dairyman who hanged himself last even- ing, a note was exhibited, which deceased had left, wherein he wrote that he had been doctoring for a cancer on his cheek the past three months and that he felt worse than when he started; that his pain had been so excruclating that he could no longer stand it. The cancer referred to was the result of being hit by a stone thrown by a young hoodlum some months previous. Brown found death by climbing up a stepladder, tying a bale rope doubled to a rafter and jumping off the ladder. The jury brought in a verdict in accordance with these facts. Deceased was a native of Sweden, aged 75 years, and leaves a widow In destitute circumstances. The Coroner’s jury in the case of Ma- thieu Bourrouill, who was asphyxiated at the Huff House last night while kneeling by a chair, returned a verdict of acciden- tal death. THE COURT FOOLED HIM.

The preliminary examination of Bernard Ward, ex-financial secretary of the Ma- rine Firemen's Union, on the charge of felony embezzlement was continued be- fore Judge Conlan yesterday. The defense put on three witnesses to break down the evidence of John Dough- erty, ex-treasurer, the star witness for the prosecution. Willilam McManus tes- tified that Dougherty had told him he had lost $1000 on the Corbett-Fitzsimmons fight. Patrick Ward, the financial secre- tary, who succeeded Ward, testified that Dougherty told him he had the $4000 al- leged to have been embezzled by Ward in a bag and lost it on the boat going across to Oakland. Attorney Clarence Gray tes- tifled that Dougherty had agreed to sign a statement that Ward had nothing to do with the defalcation. Ward did not take the stand and the Judge said he would look over the evi- dence and give his decision this morning. = e Early Mail for Australia.
